The Inconsiderate Waiter
EDITORS COMMENTS
captures a whimsical moment in J M Barrie's literary world, brought to life through the intricate art of engraving. This enchanting print, created by Amedee Forestier and found within a private collection, transports us back to the Christmas Number of The Illustrated London News in 1891. In this delightful scene, we witness an unsuspecting library visitor engrossed in his book while enjoying a quiet supper. Little does he know that mischief is about to unfold! As he sits comfortably on a ladder amidst towering shelves filled with dusty literary treasures, an oblivious waiter approaches with a plate held high. With books scattered haphazardly around him and textbooks left untouched, it becomes evident that this waiter has little regard for the sanctity of knowledge. The viewer is left captivated by the surprise etched onto the face of our protagonist as he lifts his head from his reading material. It is as if time stands still; we can almost hear him uttering words lost in dumbfounded astonishment at this unexpected interruption. Through William J M Barrie's vivid imagination and Forestier's skilled craftsmanship, "The Inconsiderate Waiter" invites us into a world where literature meets humor. This print serves as both a visual feast for the eyes and a reminder to cherish moments of tranquility amidst life's chaotic surprises.
